Thule 611 Boxter - Cargo Box

Hey all! Just picked up and installed this new box for our family ski trip this weekend. Thought I would share some pics cuz it looks kinda cool in an X-Men kinda way. I'll give my full report after the weekend.

And yes, I know "The Oven" is dirty.

First experiences:
1) super-easy install
2) looks great
3) nice sleek look
4) I know it's a box on top of a vehicle + it's 60mph gusts going on in NYC so take this with a grain of salt: can hear "slight" wind noise. I can better judge this when it's less windy and when I am actually on the highway.
5) already a billion times better than the Thule bag I used to use on top of my Pilot.

Here's some manufacturer's marketing speak:
